got problems with my vectra when starting up in the morning it will start for a few seconds but onces you put your foot on the accelerator it cuts and wont start again you have to keep the key turned then after about 2-3 mins it will start up again. i have changed the glow plug what else can i do

I have just had the same problem with mine, it took me 4 weeks of scratching my head, and it turned out to be the leak off pipes from the injectors. They were all rotten. I went to a few garages and they all told me the injector pump needed replacing, vauxhall quoted me �1,800 plus vat for the pump.

if you change your fuel filter and pipes, it should be ok, mine only cost me �8.00 in the end

sounds like an excellent place to start.

If your doing the leak off pipes get rubber ones not braided as thats what vauxhall supply now, also change the 3 t-pieces as well, another thing to check is oil in the water in the header tank it won't be a lot but you should see it ok if there is theres a chance the seals on the injectors are leaking & oil gets into the water but it also leaked into the end of the injector contaminating the diesel this also caused really bad starting.
